Hi Omer about six months ago when I was considering my purchase, I was thinking
about the Onix series of mixers, but got quickly turned away from it when the
tech support guys at Cakewalk stated that they did have to latency issues with
the Mackie, and firewire card. However this may change in Sonar 6.0, but
needless to say, I ended up spending my money on the Project mixx as it has
both a audio card with a surface controller. If you don't have any mixer at
all then I would definatly go for the Mackie with the firewire card. It may
make your life a lot easier as you plug everything direct in to it and have the
firewire capture your audio. Its going to have to be a disitian which your
going to have to make in the end, based on your needs. As for my project mix I
love, and my clients have been satisfied with the end result. On the other
hand if I was purchasing a mixer I would go with the onix series, but at this
point I am quite happy with the Mackie 1402, 10 years and still kicking with
out any problems.
. Hope this info helps.

Hi Everyone:
A salesmen at Guitar Center recommended that I use a Mackie Onyx, which is
one of their higher end mixers with a firewire card. He says the firewire card
can become replacement for the delta 44 soundcard that i'm currently using. He
says that I'll get much better quality when converting to digital with the
firewire card that comes with the onyx mixer. So I wanted to get some feedback
from you guys before I made a decision on this.
Thanks.
